MANCHESTER, TUESDA.V, Aun. 29. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) We have had less business done in our market to-day than for some time past, in consequence of an evident determination on the, part of our manufac turers to effect an advance in prices, and as evident a determination on the part of the buyers not to give it. We are all anxiously looking forward to a demand in the home trade, as the surer means of giving, life to our markets; but in the present very Wretched state of our labouring population, we cannot reasonably hope for any very early improvement. The Central Committee for the Relie f of the Pours, Dave, in conjunction with the Trustee s of the p ublic highways, adopted the plan or employing the labouring classes in the repairs of the road. Bills announcing the measure, were yesterday posted throughout the town, and hundreds of applications were immediately made at the Town Hall for engagements. MANCHESTER COMMITTEE FOR THE RELIEF OF THE POOR. (From the 'Manchester Mercury of yesterday.) A' meeting of the General Committee for the Relief of the Poor was held yesterday at the Police-office. Soon after eleven o'clock the Boroughreeve took the chair, when the Rev. William Johnson, M.A.., Chairman of the Sub-Com mittee, presental and read the following Report To the General Coimnittee of Subscribers to the Fund for Relief of the Neceseitous Poor. The Stib-Committee of Management have agreed upon the fol lowing as their ninth Report : In coliformity with your direction*, your Sub-Committee dis continued the distribution of provisions, and withdrew all the tickets presented, on Friday the 18 th instant. Painful as thin measure was, (though from the state of the fund, unavoidable) your Sub-Committee have the satisfaction of report ing that the demeanor of the poor applicants afforded a strong proof of gratitude, for. though must of them could not but antici pate the distress which a privation of the aecustomed pittance must bring .upon their familial; even this did not prevent their expression of, thanks. In their last report your Sub-Committee presented a concise re view of their proceedings from the commencement of their labours; —they now beg leave to lay before you the following abstract of their accounts, a more particular detail of which is now upon your table. [ Here fulloree - the abstract of the-aecounts.) On the inspection of these act...inane, en observation orsoine im portance will naturally suggest itself to those who have been in the habit 'of remarking the expenses which have sometimes attended the distribution, of charitable funds, • The whole charge upon this fond, including the very heavy but indispensable articles of adver tising and printing ; the stipends of upwards of twenty persons specially appointed for the prevention of frauds; rents - of some of the stores; and wages of labourers assisting in, and preserving order during the distributions, amounts to little more than three and a half per cent., upon the gum expended; and, with respect to the bet article, it can scarcely be considered as a charge, inns-. moll as these wages were paid to persons who would have been tit Objects of t•elief, and to whom this employment was afforded, in lien of a 'ticket to entitle them to provisions front the charity. Ae.anratter in .soine degree connected with the accounts, may be stated, that since the distribution dosed, a credit of 1,000/. in favour of the central committee of correspondence for Mandate ter anitthe neighbourhood, has been placed by the managers of the subscription in London, in the bands of the bankers, to be epidied for at the dieiletion of that committee. It will also be an interesting information to many,• that con siderable progress has' been made, with the assistance of ,Mr. Maoism, in preparing to carry into immediate effect a plan for the employment of such of the poor, as are , able and willing to ' work upon the public roads. ,It. now only renatine for your Sub-Committee to resign into your bands the trust which you confided to their management. By order of the Stili.Committee, astir August, fah WI% JOHNSON, Chairman. i Theee formal mutters having been disposed of, the Rev. W. ;lototann rally) the au-s two of the meeting to The following para. graph, which appeated in the Lorelei, Courier of Saturday hisi„ into iihieh paper the Reverend Gentleman said he had ascertained that it hall beet, copied nom the New Thies and Representative. ` ,4 Relief is no longer . given out to the pew; and, consequently, the distress appears' to widow .but it is to be hoped that stone relief will be shortly rendoeir to the poor, either through the map of Money,, foian, " tir - timployment. • It is in agitation to create employment for the adult poor upon the public roads. It is known that ineetilige of the Csmiinittee pf Correspondence here have been held, at which Mr. flyett and Mr. Ill'Adarn have at tended, but the result friel not taillike& and, in this mean time, the poor are destitute of ocouptitiou I hope dutie l otate of destitution SStill not drive the sufferers to outrage; and. I know of nothing so likely to encourage awls consequences, as an opinion circulated here, that the Committee in London have Offered to contribute to relieve the.poor of Iflancliester, by advancing money iu proportion to the subscription raised in the town, and to tins there is an utter exertion among the wealthy inhabitante, who say that there is a sufficient kirce 'here to preserve tranquility, and who, 1 must add,' appear little disposes' to aid Government in their endeavours to ameliorate the condition of the unemployed poor." Jo regard to this statement, a discussion arose, as to whether or not it should be replied O. There appeared to be ni; differ vice of opinion concerning the impropriety of the language, or the ineorrectneas of its statements, any more 7 than as to the offen dive. asseitioni with respect to the feelings and declarations of the more opulent part of the inhabitants ; hitt it was ultimately de termined, that an atinnytoous newspaper assertion was net wtoth notice, particularly as 4w Committee were then able to afford a praetical reply to the charge, bygiving public notice, this day, that their arrangements for setting the poor to work were ready to he catriii4 into operation. In the course - of a subsequent conversiation, it Will statist, the authority of several of the medical gentlemen connected with the Infirmary, that notwithstanding the suffering which so many of the'poor have undergorie,'there yet been little or no items *ion of disease amongst thou. Two or three members of the Committee, who had recently been in Ireland, stated how infinitely worse was the condition of the poor in Dublin, Ulan in Munches ,ter, snit it Was suggested, that as a precaution, the poor of this town should be urged to whitewash their dwellings, and supplied with the mean~ of doing so, hefore winter. After some further ilVeultory conversation, the Committee separated. „ PREP.11)0111 OF THE CITY OF 1 o 4 NDOIC—A ques. tion of considerable interest bait been started, which will involve a great deal of discussion, if pressed to an issue, as we are assured it will. be.

' A MEETING OF SAINT NDREW'S PARI4I. t. Andrew's, 0 4 IVlonday, August 28, a Meeting of the Parish of S. Dublin, waalteld in the parish church, for the purpose of inquiring . ' into the present distress of the city operativee, and toloPting Inea "l°' for their relief. After an animated debate, in the course of which the euuuhrr't of the wore wealthy absentees was very freely CAMIIIeTitA nit, the m eeting, on the motio n of Mr. Porde, Cani the resolution that. the diverrtion of one third of the church provierty from its original purpose, nornelyi the support of te -'-- poor, was the principal caused die present distress. A committee was than appointed for the purpose of endeavouring by subscrip tion to relieve that distress, - after which the meeting separated. DUELLING. As the practice of duelling se ems to be extend ing the limits of its hitherto acknowledged jurisdic tion, and plersons now pretend to be bound by the laws of chivalry, who certainly were originally never included within , them, the following anecdote may not he deemed misplaced : A very violent misunderstanding took place between two topping tradesmen of Bristol, and which, after much personal altercation, ended in the one sending the other a challenge. Whether the organ of combative ness was or wasnot sufficiently developed in the bead of our passive friend, or whether he, like many others, conceived that the better part of valour was discretion, we don't pretend to say ; but certain it is, he took no notice of the challenge, and in due course his adversary posted him through the town as a coward, &c. &c. &C. This was not to be endisred, he very properly handed over the challenge and libel to his lawyer, who forth with duly laid the same before the Court of King's Bench, then under the presidency of the late caustic Lord Ellenborough, and begged for leave to file a criminal inforination. The arguments, pro and con, were listened to with attention, and the Attorney General of the day, on behalf of the challenger, ad dressed the Court, observing on the enormity of the offence given, and that some allowance ought to be made for irritable feelings, stung by reflections which injured the honour of his client. Lord Ellenborough, who had long been uneasy in his seat, and whose brow gave but too plain tokens of his impatience, at lir, thus broke out lam weary of this spurious chivalry. What ! must we tolerate this practice in the gentleman born, but it must be imitated by gen tleinen by assumption; tradesmen, who when they should be settling their accounts, are settling their disputes, and instead of posting their books, are post g one another ?" FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Meile of Tuesday.) MOSCOW, JULY 28.—The Duke of Devonshire, Am, bassador from England; Prince Volkonsky,' Adjutant- General of the Empire ' • Count Woronsoff De.schkoff, Minister of Russia at the Court of Bavaria ; Count de la Feronnays, the French Ambassador ; General Dornberg, the Hanoverian Minister; and Count Bluhtn, Minister of Denmark, arrived here yesterday from St. Petersliurgh. JULY 30.—We have had the satisfaction to-day of see ing the arrival, in perfect health, of their IMperial High nesses the children of their Imperial M6esties. An im mense crowd went out to meet them at Petrowsky Dwaretz. Arrived at the Palace, her Majesty, accompa nied by some maids of honour, appeared on the balcony, holding in her hands the Grand Duchesses Olga and Maria, and presenting them to the bystanders. When the young Princesses retired, the following exclamation was repeated from all quarters, " May Providence bless and preserve you." Then all the crowd proceeded towards the lower apartments of the Palace, where the Grand Duke Alexander was lodged, waiting the moment When : they might have the happiness of seeinchim. This young Prince was raised on a chair near the window, and replied by a graceful bow to the cries of" Long live Alex ander, the son of the Emperor Nicholas." The Empress had scarcely retired, when the Grand Duke Alexander, accompanied by his governor, left the Palace to visit the soldiers of the guard. They immediately displayed their cOlours, and beat, to anus. Their Imperial HighttesSea the (ntuit Duke and the Grand Duchess Michael remain ed till the evening with the Grand Hereditary Duke Alex under and the Grand Duchesses. JULY :41.—We have to-day witnessed in the middle of the grand square of the 'Kremlin a temple which has been ruiged for the Imperial • Family. It is, ascended by five steps,. covered with red cloth. The cupola is supported by 12 columns. In this temple, according to the publica tion Which appeared yesterday, the divine service is to be solemnly. celebrated in the presence of till the grandees of the empire, in the presence of the troops who are now here, and of the assembled people, to render thanks to the Almighty for the protection which lie has granted to the Imperial Family, and for the termination of the trial of the conspirators. At *ix o'clock in the morning, more than 16,01)0 men, infantry and cavalry, were under arms in the Kremlin. A great number of persons of distinction of both sexes had already taken possession of the platform erected for the ceremony of the Coronation. The great crowd of people which afterwards arrived blocked up . the avenues in such a manner, that the police authorities, who at all times during the great solemnities and popular festivals have shown a particular dexterity in preventing accidents and maintaining order, had .to-day the greatest difficulty in the execution of their duty, and were almost obliged to use force in order to prevent the people from mixing with the troops and deranging their ranks. At seven o'cloek the sound of all the bells of the Krem lin was heard. Soon afterwards appeared the Grand Duke Michael. The generals, commandants, and aides de-esimp, presented their homage to his Imperial Highness, and all the troops saluted him with the liveliest acclama tions. Then the drummers and the trumpeters gave the first signal of the solemnity, and all the standards and colours of the regiment's were carried to the temple to give it a new ornament. The, doors of the church of the convent of Tscheedowa ! being opened, there proceeded from it 5,000 religious, icovered with the richest ornaments, who formed a double rank from the church to the temple, and lined the road by which the procession was to pass. In a short time the ars clamations of the people announced the:arrival of the Im perial Family. Her Majesty the Empress Maria, and her Imperial Highness-Helena, preceded by the Grand. Chem berlaine, and followed by the Archbishop Plylaret, who carried the Holy Sacrament, proceeded from the church to the temple, accompanied by all the maids of honour, and the servants Of the Court. During their march the bands of the regiments played the air of " God save the Emperor." The roar of can non, and the ringing of bells, announced the imminence mencement of *divine service. During the psalm chanted by the musicians of the Court, his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Michael, all the Generals, Commandants, and Aides-deeCamp, alighted from horeebaek, and re paired to the steps of the temple to join in the service. After the liturgy, and when the priests were going to commence the prayers addressed to Heaven for the pre servation of the Imperial Family, the Empress Malta, their Imperial Highnesses, the General_ Qflicers, the in fantrysand all the-people prostrated themselves, with their heads uncovered. The cavalry, likewise , bareheaded, grounded their arms, before the King of Kings, to bee seeds the accomplishment of the desire expressed in the prayer. Darin g this prayer, the air reso unded with the noise of the bells, of the trumpets, and with the reports of the salutes of. artillery. 7'e DOM was then chanted. After the prayer all the people role, and the Empress returned to the church, while 'the colours we re carrying to the different regiments. A grand parade terminated the solemnity. kua. `2. , --We have just learned the agre eable new* that their Imp er i a l M a j est i es , t h e Emperor Nicholas and hie spouse th e E mpeees o'clock in the atmAn itrls tam, Petrowaky Dwaretz. memo crowd went o Alexandra arrived safely at two ties.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 25.—The extreme rigour with which the Government proceeds inspires anxiety into the minds of others who think that the Government ought to stop in its system of proscriptions, now that the principal objeet has been obtained. When the Grand Seignor pro ceeded on the 16th, the day of the festival of the little Bairam, in great pomp to the mosque of Sultan Ahmed, a profound silence, and a general dejection, was observed among the people. The Sultan was accompanied by the new troops in uniform, and on the third day of the festival, instead of the ordinary rejoicings, he ordered a grand re , view of three battalions of the new troops with 24 pieces of cannon, under the direction of the Seraskier of military evolutions. _ . . The plague rages in several quarters of the capital, and does not even spare the Franks. It has shown itself on board several vessels in the port, and must be, on this oc casion, of a very pernicious nature. MADRID, AUG. 22.—The Duke of Infantado, after his resignation was received, went to pay his court in public. He is not exiled; as his resignation was entirely voluntary. He is a great Lord, and a true cavalier. He is generous, but he likes neither pomp nor parade. He received the King at his own expense at Guadalajara, lent him several sums of money, never received any emoluments, and has always given incontestable proofs of his disinterestedness. He was agreeable to the Infants, to the Rpyalist party, and to the clergy; but as he raised his voice against public robberies, it is not that he found enemies. It is believed that he will be succeeded by the Duke of San Carlos, who has set out from St. Petersburgh on his way to Paris, and who will thence proceed to Sparn. The Duke of Infantado had for some time resolved to give in his resignation, and nothing could prevent him from executing his purpose. (From the Journal des Debals.) CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY sanguinary measures by which the Sultan endeavours to ensure the continuance of his new system, and to extinguish even the remem brance of. the Janissaries, are still going on, and in their progress visit all classes of the community. Thus a species of Dervishes, called Bustaches, have been suppressed, on a charge of unbelief, and of seditious principles, although devout and fanatical to excess. Some of them have been put to death, and the rest, with their Chief, banished to Asia. Their convents, which stood on the Canal and at Scutari, are pulled down. They were friends of the Ja ni4saries. A number of the Members of the Corps of Ulemas have been executed, and among others Cadri•bey, Tarandje- Cadi, and Sokani-'Zuni, Historiographer of the Empire. Ismail Effendi, formerly Ambassador at London, has been banished. A Contractor of the Janissaries, Bagerkion %chi, a very wealthy Jew, has been beheaded; and another Jew, a banker, Boharaki-Schapetzi-Cariana, strangled. Their joint property, amounting to 30,000,000 piastres, has been confiscated. The greater number of the coffee-houses, of which there are about 4,000 in Constantinople, are shut up, and the benches before the doors, on which the Turkß take their coffee, and enjoy their pipe, have been throWn into the sea, on the pretext that they served for political meet iugs, and accustomed, the people. to idleness. Seditious placards have been , posted up, in which the Seraskier especially is very roughly handled,and reminded, that lie was once but a link-boy. The authors are sup posed to belong to the new soldiery, more than 300 of whom have been, on that account, arrested, and the greater part strangled. The people, in spite of the pains taken by Government to furnish them with cheap provisions, are discontented ; terror, however, keeps individuals from displaying their discontent.

LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 81, 1823 The Paris Papers of Monday, and the Etoile dated Tuesday morning, reached us last night. Their con tents are by no means important. They are principally filled with proceedings of the Russian Imperial family, and of the other high personages assembled at Moscow. The accounts from Portugal, in these papers, reach down' only to the 13th August, and consequently have been entirely anticipated by the Lisbon Papers which arrived two days ago. The same may he said with regard to the articles under date of Constantinople, the principal contents of which have before reached us. One fact, however, is mentioned which we have not before seen, namely, that among the persons put to death by the SuLTAN's order, is SOKANI-ZANI, Historiograph er of the Empire. We should have supposed that if there was ever a period when the services of an Historiographer were required in the Tuikish Empire it is at the present moment, when events are passing mighty in immediate effect, and— " Big with the fate of Cato and of Rome." Extracts from these papers will he found in a pre ceding column.

We shall not follow the example of one at least of our cotemporaries, the New Times and Representative, by giving a well leaded column of extracts from these papers, (the Proclamations of Generals BERMUDEZ and PAEZ), every word of which appeared in our Paper two days ago. We received last night Dutch Papers of the 29th instant, by which we learn from St. Peteriburgh, that some further mitigation of the sentences of part (lithe persons implicated in the late conspiracy, has taken place. The news from Moscow comes down to . the 7th, being two days later than that in the French Papers, and announces the public entry of their Im perial MAJESTIES into that City on the preceding day. It is said, however, that a further postpone ment of the Coronation has taken place. The intel ligence from Constantinople is an echo of the accounts which we have received from the French Papers. The following are extracts from the Amsterdam Courant of the 29th instant : PETERSBURGH, AUG. 12.—The accomplices in the late conspiracy, who hive been condemned to work in the mines or to banishment to Siberia, have lately set out for the place of their destination in several divisions, under a strong escort. Several of them are accompanied by their wives. The lot of many staff and superior o ffi cers who Were implicated in the criminal investigation, by partici pation in the treasonable societies, which are now entirely broken up, has been graciously determined by an imperial order of the day, just published. The Emperor, says this document, after previous enquiry into the bad conduct of those officers, some of whom belonged to the forbidden socie ties, and others who have been found guilty of having been partakers in or privy to their designs, considering the cir cumstances which have misled them, and lastly considering that all of them took no part in the wicked plans; that some lied left the societies; and, besides, that all have ex pressed sincere repentance for their conduct; has graciously ordered that these officers shall not undergo any sentence from the criminal courts, and shall be liable only to cor rectional punishments. Among them is said to be Colonel Glinka, aid-de-camp to the late General Milani dowitsch, who was assassinated, and a number of the offi cers, both of the guard and the line, most of whom are to be under arrest for a few months, and placed in other re giments. Moscow, AUG. 7.-- , Their Imperial Majesties yester day made their solemn entry into this city. Though a gentle south-east wind blew, the heat was 26 deg. In order to prevent accidents, the police ordered, the (lay before, that every one might proceed, before two o'clock, to the place whence lie intended to see the procession ; but that after that hour he would be hindered by ,the troops stationed in the streets. For this reason the people thronged the streets before that hour, in order to reach in time the stages prepared, when the places were paid for at a ruble up to two ducats per head. The roofs were full of people. The first stories of the houses from Sas tawa to the Kremlin were hung with draperies of various colours. The great palaces were adorned with cloth of gold, velvet silk, and cashmere, with gold fringes, borders, and tassels, and rich tapestry, hung over the balconies. At three o'clock nine cannon-shot gave .a signal to the troops to enter the city, where they were drawn up in their lines. At five a salute of 71 guns announced the arrival of their Majesties at Sastawa, and the ringing 'of bells was beard on every side. His itjesty the Emperor was on horseback, with the Grand Duke Michael on his right, and Prince Charles of Prussia on his left hand, accompanied by a numerous suite of Russian and foreign Generals and Aides-de-Cainp. The Empress Alexandria, with the Grand Duke Alexander at her side,' was in a splendid coach, and the joyful acclamations of the multitude every where saluted the Imperial pair. The procession was just two English miles in length, for when the third division of the horse guards, which opened the procession, reached Sastawa; the 'postilions who closed it were at the gate of the Petrowsky Palace. The cere mony was not over till seven o'clock. The whole city was illuminated. On the boulevard of Twer, which was splen didly illuminated by order of the Governor-General, nu merous persons of high rank were walking till eleven in the evening, seeking their carriages, and it was midnight before they all got away. The Coronation is deferred on account of the fast, which does not end till the 15th (probably the 27th N.S.), and lo day is yet fixed for it. We received this morning Frankfort papers of the 24th instant, but they are chiefly filled with accounts of the baneful effects of the long-continued dry weather, which destroyed the provender for the cattle. It ap pears that storms have been very frequent in the Austrian Provinces, where serious damage has been sustained in consequence. A tremendous thunder storm took place on the afternoon of the 6th instant, at Admont, in Upper Styria, where the lightning struck the steeple, passed through the clock into the chancel, and killed two priests who were officiating at the time. The storm rose on three sides of the valley, and congregating at the centre, burst in murky darkness, with overwhelming torrents, which carried every thing before them. _ _ HAMBURGII, AUG. 18. We receive from Mecklenburgh and Holstein the most melancholy accounts of the effects of the drought; the meadows, as in England, are so bare that the cows are without fodder. The crop of oats can hardly be called half a crop, but the state of the potato , plantation is re potted to be. still more alarming, so that in some places it is feared the crop will totally fail. Several districts which used to export large quantities will be obliged to import for their own consumption. VIENNA, AUG. 17. Our journals contain accounts of great damage done by storms in some of our provinces. Thus, on the 6th August, says a letter from Admont, in Upper Styria, be tween three and four in the afternoon, dark thunder stoma rose on three different sides, and at length joined the centre of the valley. It became as dark as night, and a torrent of rain gave reason to imagine that the tempest itself in the form ' s c e h x a p r l g o e s d i o n Ii k would soon pass over, when all at once the lightning, struck the steeple, passed through the clock into the chan cel, and killed two priests who were doing duty there. They were killed on the spot : every means to recut ani mation was employed for hours, but without the smallest e n ft;ec a t. a l I n u d i d a li i i e that of a I argepieces l ar ge cannon. 4 of the cornice and ceil ing fell. Those persons who were able 11 d e • some struc k by the lightning, lay insensible ' on the pave ment, and others, severely wounded h of the wall, were carried, covered •hy the falling p ieces la l :ll he d ele fi e r t e rt,e with blood, out of the chancel. In Upper Carinthia immense Iv dama g e as done on the sth August, a Oberviellach. In the afternoon o f that day, after a severe thunder-stor m , the inhabitants were alarmed by a loud increasingina noise, for which they could not account, when, few minutes, the Kaponick, a rapid stream, that flows i n a deep bed through the place, . rose in such a manner as to thing in its vicinity. All otlireate" destruction to every the bridges were carried away, and large trunks of trees,' and vast masses of rock, were brought down by the impetuosity of the current. The people had hardly time to escape out oftheir houses, and save their cattle. Happily no lives were lost, but the da- mage is very great. FRANKFORT, AUG. 23.

In the 123 d Sitting of the Diet, the respectful repre sentation to his Majesty, agreed upon the evening before, was again read, signed,and forwarded to his MajeetY. Letters have been received from Port-au-Prince to the 17th ult., and Papers to the 3d inclusive : They contain a Proclamation, dated April, taking off the restrictions on their ships and commerce with foreign countries, in consequence of the indspandence of the Republic having been recognized. The restriction is however continued on their ships trading to the Co lonies of other Powers, and to North and South Ca rolina (Curacoa and St. Thomas excepted). A decree, dated sth May, is also published, giving directions for the organization oftheNationalGuard,to consist of horse, foot, and artillery, and to be composed of all persons from 15 to 60 years of age ; the articles are 22 in 'limber, and give directions for the equipment and uniform to be worn by these troops.

Letters have been received from Mexico of the 26th June, via America, considerable sensa tions ' Q been created at Mexico, by the arrival of an Agent of the Colombian Government, who had attempted to A. seize the property and effects of the fi rm of B GOLDSCIIMIDT and Co. in the hands of their Age nt Mr. TUTE. Our Minister, Mr. WA RD, had p rom p tly interfered, and succeeded in preventing t his seizure, and secured all Mr. TUTE'S books and papers, for the protection of that Gentleman and his employ ers. Trade was improving at Mexico, and many kinds of godswere becoming scarce. It appears that the Treaty between the R e p ublic and England had met with many obitacles, originating in that which had been concluded with France. It wa ll ' however, ultimately expected that the whole would be overcome, and that a relative of our Consul may'. be shortly expected with this document. It was with deep regret that we announced in o ut Paper of yesterday the death of the Lord Bishop of CALCUTTA. This melancholy intelligence was COa' tained in the Bombay Courier of the 22d of April' which reached us at the moment our Paper was g oing to press. His Lordship had arrived at TrichiliopolY on the morning of Saturday the Ist of April, and 0 9 the following day preached, and held a confirmation the evening ; after which, he delivered another die' course, concluding with a solemn and affecting farewell to the Congregation. On Monday, at an early hour, his Lordship visited a congregation of Native Chrir tians, arid, on his return, went into a bath , as he h done on the two preceding days. He was there seised with an apoplectic fit ; and when his serva l % alati le at the length of his stay, entered the bathing -N (44 ' e , found that life was extinct. Medical. aid was Vi e. diately procured, but wholly unavailing. Bigh t Thus terminated the earthly career of the dj9t i n , Rev.
